My one stopped routing wireless devices. It's rather annoying. They can perfectly well see the internal network, but no connection to the internet. Wired devices work ok.

I'm wondering if I can just buy a new cable router/modem and use that, or whether there's some kind of key contained within the router that doesn't allow it to be swapped. Internet searches have proved fruitless on this.

You can turn it into a modem and then use a separate router, but there's some known bugs in the firmware, so try logging into it then disable everything on the services page and see if tha makes a difference first.

It has trouble with the three-way handshake that you need to keep an SCP connection alive (or, more accurately, NAT sees it go idle so it removes the map), so if you use Putty or WinSCP or the like and leave them idle for around 30 seconds they'll disconnect, which is fucking annoying.Putty, at least, has a keep-alive setting which solves this, but it's still GRRRR worthy.

Received my superhub (in fact, they sent 2, ffs) and it's up and running. Annoyingly, it assigned my loft PC a weirdo address (192.168.103.2 when the rest is in the 192.168.0.x range) and made it inaccessible via the network. Thanks to a noisy loft ladder, I can't go up and investigate until MiniPaz is awake, so am currently unable to access music and pictures or manage my downloads. Annoying.

The superhub is now in Modem Mode and there it will stay. Crappy wireless range and performance, random drop outs and some quite frankly bizarre DHCP glitches have turned me off it. Old router now firmly back in place.

Sigh. When virgin moved my account to the new house, they insisted on giving me a new super hub. Only after the engineer left did I notice that the Internet wasn't connecting. A lengthy call to virgin has established that the new hub is faulty and will only work in modem mode. New one on the way and back to my edimax router again (which I may just stick with anyway as the wireless range is excellent)

I'm having a speed upgrade soon and I've just been sent an email telling me that I need a new "super" hub. I presume, since the current router I have does everything I want, that turning off the wireless part of it is easy?

Also, they want to send an engineer round to install it and tell me how it works... What a complete waste of time.

He won't waste much time doing that. Not as much as you waste waiting for him to not turn up anyway.

Virgin media is like a hot younger girlfriend who knows she is. Great when its turned on, a pain in the tits until you're plugged in.
